Default Can you tell me what this is?

I noticed this above the speedo on a KTM.

Can someone tell me what it is? It looks like a small antenna, is it a GPS receiver antenna?

Thanks, Dave.

It looks like an antenna to me or it is a small harmonic dampener for your handlebars or both :-)

No Wait! It is a new way for the Pumpkin Cult to program the bikes and riders.

OK, so it's not standard fitment, it's an aftermarket part.

I'm still guessing antenna for GPS receiver.

If it's a TPI oil flow monitor, it doesn't work.

I think it's a GPS antenna so the tree huggers can keep track of you

From what I'm hearing almost nothing works for long on those TPI systems...
